“A few weeks ago you saw when we witnessed one of the most shocking abuses of power by any administration in American history,” Trump told the Pennsylvania crowd on Saturday evening.
“The shameful raid and break-in of my home, Mar-a-Lago, was a travesty of justice that made a mockery of America’s laws, traditions, and principles.”
“The Biden administration invaded the home of their chief political opponent, who is absolutely destroying him and everyone else in the polls. I hate to say it ,even including the Republicans, but we love the Republicans,” Trump noted.
Breitbart reported:
He criticized the FBI for selectively choosing Federal magistrate Bruce Reinhart to approve the search warrant.
“On a phony pretext, getting permission from a highly political magistrate, who they handpicked, late in the evening just days before the break-in and trampled upon my rights and civil liberties as if our country that we love so much were a third world nation,” Trump said. “We’re like a third world nation.”
After criticizing the Biden administration and the FBI, Trump revealed that FBI agents conducted a “deep and ugly” search of his son Barron Trump’s room in addition to searching through former first lady Melania Trump’s bedroom.
“They rifled through the first lady’s closet drawers and everything else, and even did a deep and ugly search of the room of my 16-year-old son,” Trump told the crowd, who responded with loud boos.
The former president said the FBI left everything “in far different condition than it was when they started.”

“The FBI and the Justice Department have become vicious monsters controlled by radical left scoundrels, lawyers, and the media who tell them what to do,” Trump said.
Fox News added:
Trump told the crowd that the raid on his home last month was not only an effort to silence him but an effort to silence his supporters.
“They’re trying to silence me and more importantly, they are trying to silence you, but we will be not be silenced right?” Trump said, prompting chants of “USA!” from the crowd. “We will never stop speaking the truth. We have no choice because we’re not going to have a country left.”
The FBI raided Trump’s property as part of an investigation into whether Trump illegally possessed classified national security materials at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
